EVERTON could get a boost with the return of Idrissa Gueye for Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League after he played for Senegal on Monday.

The midfielder was named in the team to face Bournemouth on October 7 but did not play in the 3-0 win due to a heel injury.

However, the 34-year-old came on in the 78th minute during Senegal’s 1-0 win over Cameroon in a friendly.

The Toffees are a lowly 16th in the standings on seven points after eight games while Liverpool is fourth with 17, three points shy of leaders Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
